Fried Smelts in N. Delaware or Delco

[kellyc96]

Does anyone know if there is there an italian market or restaurant that makes fried smelts in northern Del or Delco, PA? They are part of a italian christmas eve dinner that my husband enjoys. In his hometown area (NEPA) during the holidays you can pick them up in almost any supermarket. I'd like to get them for him but I'd rather not fry at home. Any tips would be appreciated!

Smelts are a freshwater fish, I think. Check with your local fishmonger. Maybe they're available frozen.
